know that it’s not the point of the movie but I really hope they establish ken is indeed barbie’s boyfriend. she doesn’t need to kiss him or hold his hand or say I love you but we need that true devoted obsessed boyfriend + badass girlfriend to be canon because you know Ryan Gosling’s Ken would let Margot Robbie’s Barbie commit war crimes in the name of being a supportive partner
i knew you then. i know you now. but how i wish i could have known you in that space between the two. how i wish we could have grown together.
we were sunflower seeds in the dirt, and even then i knew you were something special. you were good, so good. (for a week, i was convinced you were otherworldly, more than human. because i had no other concepts to explain how seen, how understood i felt when i was with you.) i was a child longing for connection, and when you entered my life, i almost didn't know what to do with all of the joy that followed.
we knew little of the world. we had so much growing to do. and in another lifetime, maybe we could have remained side by side throughout.
but the wind scattered us just out of reach. and i had a tendency to release my grasp on every good thing. it was chance that led to distance, but it was my own fear that led to silence. and i am sorry for the time we have lost.
and yet. we grew, reaching for the same sun. we grew in parallel arcs, turning to face the light, unfurling our leaves to touch the world with gentleness and courage.
and now i see you, here in the sunlight. we ended up here. we ended up okay. we cannot look into the past to see what made us who we are. but we can see who we were. and we can see who we are.
and i can say to you:
i knew you then. i know you now. i am sorry for the time between. thank you for not giving up on me. i love the person you are. i am proud of us both. you are someone i always want in my life.
i hope the future is kind to you. i hope your best days are ahead of you. i hope you know how loved you are. and i hope we see each other soon.
with this letter, i am sending you hugs and smiles and candy and music and legos and cool rocks and funny videos of baby animals and all of the happiness in the world.
I fucking love Ryan Gosling in these Barbie interviews. Someone asked "hey what would Ken say in his bio on a dating app? what kind of person is he looking for?" and Ryan's like "uh... well before he even looks for a Type Of Person™, he's gotta be real up front that he's got no job... and no house... no real prospects of any sort, really, he just kinda sleeps on the beach, and -- you know what, he doesn't even have a phone? I... I don't know if he can even sign up for this app?" and Margot said "oh but he has abs. That should get him somewhere" and he said "no, no, I don't think he even has an email address, I don't think there's any way to contact him??"
and it's like three minutes of them talking about Ken not even having any pickup lines because his way of flirting isn't even flirting, it's him picking up something Barbie accidentally dropped (even though Barbie doesn't make mistakes) and saying "oh hey you dropped this 😳" and then offering it to Barbie and then when Barbie says thank you while making eye contact he's shaking and thinking "oh god what a perfect day Barbie looked at me" and then he'll ride that high the entire day. and the interviewer was like "but that isn't a pickup line" and Ryan said "no I don't... I don't think Ken does that, I think he just creates moments with Barbie and cherishes them" WHAT THE HELL SIR YOU'RE MAKING ME FALL FOR KEN EVEN MORE
YOU'RE listening to taylor swift because you have a new boyfriend, I'M listening to taylor swift so i can get in character to my heartbroken on may 19th when the Baxter DLC is released

So who all do you ship Soundwave with? Is it a certain situation/continuity thing or just random/mood based?
Honestly I love soundwave so much I tend to enjoy a LOT of ships with him. It definitely varies depending on continuity and my mood though.
My favorite soundwave ships are by far coswave (obviously) and jazzwave. But honestly I tend to enjoy most all soundwave ships.
I really like tfp wavwave (as mentioned before), I love the weird offputting scientist and his cryptid wife. Tfp Soundchet (soundwave and ratchet) makes my heart hurt so bad I was chemically addicted to this ship for a period of time and still love it. I like idw soundwave x thundercracker too, big bumbling puppy x angry kitten my beloved. G1 Soundwave x ultra Magnus I also like, I just think they would be in autism heaven together (I love rarepairs can’t you tell. Someone on twt drew soundwave x cyclonus as a joke and I was like WAIT. WAIT. LET HIM COOK)
The only ships I don’t really care for are soundwave x blaster (I don’t really have an explanation for this one) and soundwave x optimus prime
THANK YOU FOR THE ASK I really really love getting these asks y’all have no idea it makes me so happy. I’m so happy y’all like hearing my stupid thoughts and ramblings eeehehehe❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🛸🛸🛸
